Holiday Gift Guide: Garcia Artwear

How many of you have heard of Jerry Garcia? For those of you, who haven’t heard of Jerry Garcia, he was the lead man for the band Grateful Dead, as well as the lead guitarist. The Grateful Dead was a popular band in the 70’s and is known for some of their hit songs such as Ripple, Truckin’, Uncle John’s Band, and Hell in a Bucket.

Jerry Garcia, struggled with many things in life, and had several addictions. These addictions contributed to his early death at the age of 53 in 1995. However, Jerry wasn’t only an artist when it came to music, he was also a well known painter.

Recently, Jerry’s artwork has made its way to scarves. Garcia Artwear has launched a new collection, this new collection showcases some of Jerry’s finer pieces. This collection has four designs, each piece is unique and shows how talented Jerry Garcia was.

I was sent a scarf from the new collection to check out for myself. I was impress with this scarf, not only are the colors so pretty, this scarf is thin enough to wear in the spring, yet thick enough to also pair up with some designer jeans and wear in the fall months.

As you can see from the above picture the colors are so pretty. I got my daughter to model the scarf so you can see the full beauty.

If you have a fashion diva on your holiday list this season, I would personally recommend the Garcia Artwear scarf. You can purchase these scarves at Gratefulgirls.com or on Amazon.
